 Team Sleipnir (Scandinavian) Hi there fellow Scandilearners! Welcome to a new journey through the languages of the vikings, the nordic gods and the nordic mythical creatures! As you all may know, TAC is all about motivating each other and sharing tips and resources. It hasn't been different in the past years with Team Viking and Team Asgard. We have shared a lot and become friends on the go. I hope the vikings and heros from the previous TACs will keep following us on the journey, and I also expect that new brave language learners will join the ship. Make yourselves at home at our new Scandinavian spot. Although I have been part of two TACs while following close TAC 2012 as well, this is my first time as a Team Leader, and the reason I decided to go for it is the respect and admiration I feel for my fellow members and godparents. All this to say I am going to need all the help of you guys to keep this thread up-to-date and on the right track. Feel free to point out any mistakes or supplements to be made to this list, either by here or through pm. I am going to keep the same list of resources from the previous year, but I would like to advise to check other members' previous logs for suggestions on media. I have been learning Norwegian so I can give you tips on it both for textbooks/learning resources and for native media, but other members have been learning other languages, like Swedish (Emme and tarvos, for example) and Danish (daegga, also for Norwegian). Please post a link to your log so we can add it here. We have the following members so far (updated May 18th): AlOlaf (Danish) daegga (West-Scandinavian, East-Scandinavian) Emme (Swedish) Epeli (Swedish) Expugnator (Norwegian) Jaynie (Danish) jeff_lindqvist (Danish, Norwegian) Mareike (Swedish) Sarnek (Swedish) Serpent (Swedish, Danish) Shemtov (Swedish) Sooniye (Danish) suzukaze (Swedish) tarvos (Swedish, Norwegian) Now for the challenges and the members that concluded them: January: Tell us why you are studying your Scandinavian language(s) and how you plan to make progress in 2015. Jaynie, Sarnek, daegga. AlOlaf, agantik, tarvos, Expugnator, suzukaze, Emme, Marieke, Soonyie, jeff_lindqvist February: Describe a typical day of yours.
